Dr. Liam Printer and Cécile Lainé on Story Listening Lessons on the Motivated Classroom Podcast

Описание: 🎧 Join Dr. Liam Printer for this summary of his interview on episode 110 of the Motivated Classroom Podcast with Cécile Lainé about the powerful teaching method of Story Listening and its impact on language acquisition. Cécile shares her experience using this approach with secondary students and explains how cultural content and intercultural competence play a crucial role in language learning. She reveals how the simple act of listening to stories can significantly boost language comprehension, vocabulary retention, and motivation. 📚

Cécile addresses common myths and misconceptions about Story Listening, including concerns about passive learning and vocabulary retention. Contrary to popular belief, Story Listening doesn’t require constant repetition of vocabulary or note-taking—just active listening and engagement. She highlights the long-term benefits of this method, with students retaining vocabulary even weeks after hearing a story. 🗣️

She also provides valuable advice for teachers, urging them not to force vocabulary from textbooks into stories but instead focus on authentic storytelling to deepen understanding. Story Listening is not just about acquiring language; it’s about fostering empathy and social connection, meeting students where they are. 🌍

If you're interested in boosting language learning motivation and want to know how to implement Story Listening effectively, this episode is a must-listen!
